Abstract (en)
[origin: EP3722153A1] An improved safety device (1) for vehicles, comprising at least one video camera (2; 2a, 2b, 2c), installable in one or more of the portions of the outer surface (3) of a vehicle (V), oriented in such a way that its lens is facing in the opposite direction to the travelling direction of vehicle (V), or in the same direction in the case of reversing; at least one processing unit (5), to which the video camera (2; 2a, 2b, 2c) is operatively connected, which sends images selectively and at the request of the driver to a display (6) of the vehicle (V), operatively connected to the processing unit (5) by means of wiring or wireless connections; a control (8), operatively connected to the processing unit (5), operable by the driver and able to selectively activate the video camera (2; 2a, 2b, 2c), and therefore the rear viewing function on the display (6). This control (8) is configured to selectively modify, at the discretion of the driver, the mode of use of the display (6) from a first mode, wherein the rear viewing function is not active, to a second mode, wherein the rear viewing function is active, and vice versa, and wherein in said first mode of use said display (6) operates like a traditional display, i.e. it shows the normal information relating to the vehicle, and wherein, in the second mode of use, the display (6) is controlled to display, in real time, the images taken by the video camera (2; 2a, 2b, 2c). The display (6) is a display already supplied to current vehicles (V), and preferably consists of the display of the instrument panel (7) of the vehicle (V) positioned frontally with respect to the driver, the display (6) is suitable for selectively displaying the images taken by said video camera (2; 2a, 2b, 2c) when the vehicle (V) moves in the forward or reverse direction.
